- How's it going guys!! I hope you're all doing good and having a great week! I want to thank all 1,081 of you who have subscribed to my channel, your support truly motivates me to do these videos. There's a giveaway coming soon! In this video I go over the things I (personally/opinion) believe you should look out for when buying an RSX. I noticed that I went into more detail for manual RSX and not automatics, so if you have a question regarding that, let me know in the comments section. I'm sorry the video came out so long, I just wanted to make sure I went over everything I wanted to say.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!!!

Bought a 2003 Type S brand new, traded it in for a new 2010 Camaro. It had 104,000 miles and never had any issues. Biggest mistake I ever made.
Christopher Winters why was it a mistake man
Sebastian Mendez I think he meant the trade in
Meaning that Camaro is giving him problems
I have a 4th gen Camaro and RSX Type S. Why not have both? They’re very different cars. But my RSX is the best car I’ve ever owned. Reliability, comfort, and fun for a daily driver. My Camaro is sick but I don’t like to drive it daily.
Lol
Some advice you'er better off using the oem seat belts until you get A proper racing seat with theme harnesses.
Do you think Braum is a decent brand to get a pair of racing seats for my DC5?
Clout _boi23 yeah definitely.Their one of the top brands.
One huge thing to look at for his leak in the tail light gaskets. Water will leak through and you’ll find water where the spare tire is. Very common problem specially with the 2002-2004 models.
Victor dARKO i had to record this video 2 times because the first time the audio was very bad, and I actually metioned what you just said. Im so pissed I forgot to mention it again the second time! Thank you for mentioning it!
LeonelObbed no prob man! Good video! Love your RSX as always
Victor dARKO yeah then it rusts the floor out like it did mine- spread all the way into the subframe cause of the damn leak
Mr N D damn sorry to hear that. You’d think Honda would make better replacements too.
Victor dARKO Sorry I'm new to the car game but is this just a minor problem?
I got a rsx for my son. He loves it. 185k. No problems. Automatic. No mods. Glad i choose this one for him.
I got an automatic for my daughter's first car. After driving it I'm planning on buying a manual for myself.
Super fun, super easy to drive car. Best cars they ever made in my opinion.
my top 5 , 1.Compression, 2. Grinds, 3. Steering rack slider wear *pop open hood grab it and shake it up and down where the inner tie rods mount, if it shakes your gonna need a new slider guide* 4.Legit or stolen 5. Body damage miss match paint etc
ThatGuyKappa speaking of mismatch paint engine bay is blue the rest of the car red smh 😂
So the rack will shake up and down like having play were the tie rods go right?
I love these cars so much. Can’t wait to own one one day
Phannty keep on saving man, you'll get there
I've got one for sale! 02' Type S 150k miles NO mods! Factory car. 6spd in Desert Metallic. No issues, $4,000 located in NC
Alex Butler still selling??
I’m about to buy one next week! It’s a 2006
Jack Beaupre did you buy it?
I wanna thank you so much for this video. I just looked at a 06 rsx type s and was in good shape and was about to want to look at numbers for it. Then i looked underneath. The trunk had a rust hole all the way through in 3 spots and the whole spare compartment was toast. Wouldnt have looked if i didnt see this video. So now im hoping to get a 08 civic si coupe. Thank you again!
Comments like these are the reason why I love making videos! Thank you so much for your support and I am very thankful that I could help you out. I wish you luck on your car hunt and whatever you end up getting enjoy the hell out of it. Thanks for the support
I'm new to the channel and excited to you be a part of the journey with the RSX just ended up buying my RSX today. And hope I can learn much from you.
Angel Montiel hey!!! That's great Angel! I have lots more vids coming pretty soon. Thanks for the support it truly means a lot
Just bought a stock 06 rsx this video helped alot in the process thank you 👍
ShotzDeMo thank you so much! It really means a lot I could help out, if at least one person finds this video helpful then i feel as if I did my part. I hope you enjoy your RSX to the max!
I have an 06, they are known for a/c failure, I just paid $1500 to fix mine, pay attention to the airbox if you don't do maintenance yourself, the screws strip easily so when you get an oil change, your air filter is not being changed and they charged you for it , I'm gonna get rid of mine
Thank you for this. I needed this as I’m planning to purchase one in a few weeks.
Thats great news man! Glad I could help you out. Cheers to you getting an RSX!
kry did you get it? 😃
Great video, I've been looking for an Rsx for a few months now.
Good points. The transmission issue seems to be one of the biggest ones in my experience. Also check any engine codes if the light is on. The car is very finicky about that. One little problem that doesn't even matter will make the car run like crap. I had a code for a cat converter because my car has a race header and it ran horrible until i did my little fix.
Did you just throw a defouler into it?
Thanks for the video, owner of a type R DC5 from japan for 6 years now i must say the clutch oil pump tend to break as well. Gearbox IMO is the most "expensive" weakness.
True! I forgot that as well. Thats awesome that you have a Type R
K Tuned makes a CMC and slave cylinder replacement kit.. Mine's working KILLER.. No more issues..
Really good video Leo. Thinking about buying an RSX and this video helps out a lot. Keep up the good work.🇵🇷
Glad you kept it real
Just got a 2006 base RSX that is all original and i love it. Pretty well kept up im honestly surprised i found one with no mods. Great vid btw!
That's awesome!! Hope you enjoy the crap out of it
Are you selling it?
Miss going to PR. I'm not boricua but I love it there.
Thanks man!
Boricua represent. Mad props bro🇵🇷
Thank you bro!
Got an 06 Type S and I found out about this video late aha, and I’m replacing the taillight gaskets in a few days and going to get the surface rust off next

The Art Of Street really appreciate it man. Means a lot I can help someone out!
LeonelObbed Iras a lo de Kamikazee el 5 de agosto
In my area, it’s the other way around. Almost all DC5s for sale here are completely stock.
Dennis J. Gonzalez wow that's really lucky
where’s your area?
Must be nice lol
Same where I live. Bought an 06 type s all stock
Nice 👍 Job 🎬..
Mine: 2003 DC5 RSX Type S. 1st engine K20a2. 215,000 miles ran very well.

Love your vids bro I love in Florida but I’m from pasto Veijo cayey. I have a boosted type s. Keep up the good vids!
Thank you so much man, Saludos desde PR
Congrats on 1k
TBills 3000 thanks a lot bro
I had over 5 rsx type s in my life time I still currently have three of them in my private collection..
Adam Diaz where can I get an rsx with low mileage
Give me one
You wanna sell one?
Great video and very helpful 🙏 this Saturday I’m going to check out a rsx type s if its all good I might buy it has low miles clean title bone stock 6 speed 4,000$USD
I had the common Honda “dreaded 3rd gear issue,” 3rd gear will randomly grind, pop out, or hard to go in, RANDOMLY, on my otherwise lovely 06 RSX Type-s. I took a chance and used Royal Purple Gear oil. It shifted perfectly ever since, 10 yrs ago, and going strong. Cheap fix. The RSX is an addictive fun car with the right amount of upscale interior. It’s hard find a better car, even now, especially considering the light weight / power / handling / mpg / upscale interior factors.
Agree 100%
Thx for the video. I feel kinda unlucky because i recently bought an rsx and have most of the issues you mentioned, from the actuators to the 3rd gear grind and the power steering pump lol. 😔 btw 100x35 🇵🇷
just bought a black rsx base 2003 automatique oem body is pretty mint, it was awsome to drive it on road even though its auto but roll like a marbles. The auto transmission have issue too, when its cold the second gear knock and take time to shift. p.s. the k20z3 will coming soon.
I'm a new sub/ soon to be rsx owner love your rsx bro
Thank you so much!!
One of the cleanest RSXs I've ever seen good stuff man
Wow, really appreciate it bro. Thanks for the support!
stock 06 since new
only put 89k miles on it...hope it sticks around the family for at least another 17 years
Lawrence Lin that's so freakin awesome man, I wish mine last just as long
I just bought a 2002 RSX type S , manual 6 speed for 1,000$. I got to say for the deal that I got I’m in love ! #tokyodrift#burnoutdemon
Woah that’s great!!
My girlfriend purchased a base model RSX and I see this common problem with all RSX’s is that, the bumper clips are so shit on these cars, the bumper corners will come off here and there but you just gotta smack it back into place lol
Very true man. The bumper clips suck big time lol. Its a common RSX problem
Hi I'm a new RSX owner looking forward to check out your channel.
The ROCK ZILLAH thats awesome!!! Hope you enjoy the videos!
Yes especially the singnals i have 2003 no mecanic has found the flasher singnal problems and ye i checked the relay,checked the fuses and nothing
Found a 06 type s all stock in great looking shape. 165k miles got it for 4300. Runs awesome. I had to buy it
Enjoy it! Congrats
I've had mine for less than 6 months. I was already a broke college student when I bought it. Here's a list of shitty things that's happened. Bought in late June 2017:
August 22 night before I left for college: Knock rod ($2500) for new engine
October heating went out/no defroster for winter
Today starter died on night before going home for winter break. Had to push it across street.
I'm now stranded in my tiny ass college town
Sounds like bad luck. How many miles was on it?
Got a 2005 type S in 2013 for $14k w/ 70k miles. Still my only car and now we’re at 150k miles with an intake and new rims
I love your videos bro and I was wondering where did you get your rear view mirror?
Gosh!! Got that from ebay I think! It was a while back. Brand was Broadway I believe
I’m planning to buy one only for the manual going to self taught how to drive it
bought a stock 06 RSX base 5 speed for $3000, car holds up well. It has rust issues but it’s a first car so I don’t plan on having it forever.
frame cracked today RIP LMAO
Great video! Do you have a list of mods for your car that you can share
🔥🔥🔥
Hey all, looking at a 02 RSX. The guy built it, engine, etc. but is a known car builder, so I feel like I could trust it, but obviously will be checking it out.
My question, how are these in the winter? I'd imagine good. But curious on owner's thoughts!
K20z1 with a 6 speed
Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 🔥
I bought my rsx type s before I watched this video and after watching I realized I got a really good condition one it just has some hail damage
Love your car I am a racer as well and I would love to hook up my RSX for racing
Got a Base 5spd with 127k miles for $2500. Its slow as hell, prob slowest car I've ever owned but I love it!
Im glad you love it man. DC5 Fam
i has 5 Acuras RSX TypeS (DC5) 2002-2003-2004 and One 2005 and im Agreee on Power Stearling and Seats but Power Windows its Minor Under 30$ to Fix but keep it in Mind cars was BUILD in 2002-2006 i Driving RSX-TypeS over 14 YEARS !!!! Power Styearling it is Honda Trouble Spot but you can Put 2001-2005 Honda Civic SI Hatchback (EP3) Electric Power Stearling and no more Problems and Transsmissions Yea im Agree but its all Depends on who has that car before you and how they Drove It and How they SWITCHED GEARS rest kits not really matter if you buying car that got all type of Aftermarket Parts you shoul already know that car was Racing , Pushed to the limit or just got beat up !!Q!! Seats Does go bad if you dont take care them but you always can go with Cloth seats or Aftermarket Seats like Bride or MoMo or any other Brands Name !!!!! But car Acura RSX TyperS is GREAT CAR you willl fell in LOVE with IT thats for Sure !!!!
Looking at potentially getting a base RSX for my first car. Very helpful! Thanks
Thank you for watching! Good luck on the RSX hunt!

@@leonelobbed fuiste a la corrida K series? No pude
LeonelObbed organiza uno si puede lol
Hey man great video. I will be replacing my power steering pump on my dC5 next weekend. Do you know what kind of fluid it takes? Someone told me that some cars use trans fluid. I just don’t want to mess it up
TBills 3000 they sell Honda powersteering fluid use that
TBills 3000 correct. Use Honda appropriate power steering liquid. It should say so on the bottle!
TBills 3000 thanks for the support as always man
Getting mine today. What rims are those man? Awesome RSX
Mr. IDGAF thats awesome!! Those rims are Rota Grids 17x9 25+ et

Wow man, that's freaking awesome. That's what my end goal for my RSX is. K24 swap it, Turboing it and making some serious power
I found a 06 type S 99k miles stock for 6k should get it?
Right now I’m working on my 03 rsx and I’m painting it also removing the trashy seats
Cool man, RSX are great project cars
Just found an 02 rsx type s all stock, anyone got advice on it needing ball joints before I decide to buy it?
3k subbrs now!
Probably gonna trade my Silverado for an RSX. My truck has had nothing but issues since I got it 2 years ago.
Should I buy an 2002 RSX Type S with a rebuilt motor??
Is the transmission problem only for manuals? Cuz im planning on getting an automatic
Just bought an 05 with 111000 on the odometer, base 5 speed. Love it so far got 30 mpg going 85 500 miles. Can’t wait to modify it... ( lowered, intake, exhaust) and daily driving for the next 100,000 miles. Bought for 4,200. Did i make a good decision?!
Yes!! Great price for an 05 even though its base! Hope you enjoy the crap out of the car!!
I have one and it the best car ever. 04 Type s.
I agree, I Have a03 Rsx. Previous car was a 89 crx. I love my Rsx!
My wheel shakes very hard when idle or when breaking, why is that??
I LOVE THOSE SEATBELTS were did ya get them!

Quick question what gauges are those you running? And how’s the exedy clutch working
Iam MRjovanni Hey! My gauges are 2 Glowshift, 1 oil pressure, 1 battery voltage and then 1 AEM wideband. As for the clutch its been doing a okay, knock on wood lol
Old video... but I just bought a 2004 rsx base model today for 3gz :) yeah yeah yeah ik it’s auto but oh well
My rsx is 💯% stock ! First time i planning to put coilovers, what do u think about Bc coilovers BR type?
BCs are really good!
Hey guys. Question for everyone. I have a fully stock 2006 RSX Type S. Runs like a dream with 210k. Has anyone gone with a genuine Acura A-Spec suspension? And thoughts on the A-Spec suspension versus the Type S setup. Thank you.
Really cant help you there bro, don't know much about a-spec suspension. sorry!
Looking at an 02 rsx type s garage kept hes asking 4200 but it's been up for a bit and I've gotta replace the top hats on the coilovers if I buy it. Good deal? I might try to talk him down to 3800
James M Check Kelly Blue Book. Depending on miles that sounds high
broooo , tu eres boricua obligado. saludos , estoy en busca de uno so veamos a ver que tal me va. gracias por los tips.
Boricua de pura sepa!! Exito con la busqueda!
How much does it cost to swap a gear?
about to get my rsx 2003 for 1500 from a friend pray everything is good
How’s the RSX been?
Am going to look at a 06 rsx type s this Saturday it has 110 miles stock Engine and it only has new headers put in is that good
Yeah man! Thats great, just make sure to check general things you would look for when buying a used car
Did you ever get your RSX?
I own one type s 2005 k20z1 in red,the only thing i dont like is the interior. Looking to do it black..pa lante boricua
i have an 06 base with black interior, and i would swap every last piece of it for beige interior
Can you send me link on everything I need to make my Acura better some what like a racing car
great 20-30 mph pull 0:12
You trolling?? :D
I’m too from Puerto Rico and I’m looking for a RSX TYPE S 2006
Luis Lugo go to Cuba and you can find one 🇨🇺
Just bought mine had simple modifications but the kid clearlt didnt know what he was doimg so ive been spending the past week fixing his mistakes lmao trans like you said is so-so think the gear box has a hum but cant be certain as these cars are known for hums from many different things clearly over all pretty happy with her
I’m looking too getting a rsx on Friday automatic. Yes or no? One owner off ther lot
xGeekMenace-- RSXs in general are great cars, especially if they were taken care of by their previous owner. I personally don’t have any experience with automatic RSXs but if the price is right, go for it! I recommend however opting for a manual even if its base. You can have much more done to it in the future, if thats your thing. If you just want a point a to point b car, get the auto
You took off the type r spoiler?
Alex Gourdine yes! Im having it repainted. Kudos! You noticed
Im meeting a guy to buy a 2004 RSX base model 5 speed tmrw he asking 1500 for it and i cant wait since me and him agreed to meet and its stock and the guy looks like he only daily driven it😁😁
Did you need to get a type r grill to fit the red h?
No!
I just got one low miles 60k for 5k but does all rsx have a little whining sound to them???
you jelly bro did you ever figure out what the doing was ?
Hey man I know this video is old but it has some great info. How can I know if the engine has been swapped?
Check that the vin number matches on both the car and engine plate
LeonelObbed thanks!!!
What year is your rsx I'm looking at an 04 and 06 not sure the difference between them
I have an 05 RSX Type S. The cosmetic difference between an 02-04 is pretty significant when compared to an 05-06. Also if you’re looking for a TypeS, 05-06 Type S had 10 more horsepower than 02-04 Type S and also had more aggressive final drives. 4.38 for 02-04 and 4.76 for 05-06
I just got a question, you know the odometers in the American cars, they measure in miles right ? And Australian cars measures in kilometres.. Anyways let me change the question a little.. how long does the engine of this model of Integra can last for ? I am going to check out a 2005 Type S today, it has 205000 km's -ish...
2ndchanceinlife hey!! Yes I realize units of measure are different over there. To answer your questions, I’ve seen Integra completely stock engines with more than 300,000 miles on the odometer, thats over 480,000 kilometers. These engines can definitely take a beating, and there are always replacement parts readily available
Sweet ! Thanks so much. Best is to try and find one that isn’t abused. They sure can take a beating alright !
where can I get those seats and seatbelts?
The seats are oem type S seats. The seat belts I got a local Performance Shop
Do you think it is worth it to modify a base rsx or should I get a type s
Honestly to each their own. But I'd say if you have the money, buy a Type S. Having that said Base models can also be modified and have good numbers.
Doesn't really matter both are really good 😊
What miles do the trans problems happen at ? And does the trans problems happen to the 2006 accord v6 manual ? Does the regular base rsx have no trans problems ?
Yooo a common reason for the grinds are actually due to the slave and master cylinder.... these werent made for fast shifting hence the grind. Upgrade the master and slave and problem goes
They also develop issues with synchros long term. You might improve things with what you said, but that will not fix the issue.
New England sucks for these cars cause underneath there’s rust and holes I was lucky to find one with minor surface rust but unfortunately the engine wasn’t original it’s a K20a2 but it’s getting rebuilt and the trans had bad synchros which I replaced also but overall not bad for a $900 car my younger brother however is in the market but for him it’ll have to be a base auto found a clean one too 06 so hoping to nab it for him
There is this one close by but it has JDM transmission in it with claimed 80k miles on it. Seems risky? Also I dont know how to drive stick so I cant drive it hard when testing.
Duck Hey!! My honest opinion would be to maybe try and take a friend that does know how to drive stick, a test drive is a very important part of buying a used car. As for the JDM transmission, that doesn’t necessarily mean that its a bad thing, just try to see the general condition of the car, ask the seller the time they’ve had the car, why they’re selling. If you’re really interested, and I mean if you’re really serious about it, try to ask the seller if he/she is willing to go to a mechanic shop and have them look under the car. This takes some time, so make sure you’re serious about buying the car! Good luck!
@@leonelobbed Thanks for the reply I have been wanting to learn stick for a while now it seems fun and worth the investment. Sadly I need a car soon and I am also looking at saab 9-3s they are plentiful but only in autos.
@@kakashi99908 You'll learn super quick! I actually learned to drive stick on my RSX! Good luck with the car search! Thanks for commenting
Dude, you gotta get a microphone that clips onto your shirt. It would be easier to hear you.
PM Rich im going to do just that! Thank you
Jst gt a 2002 rsx base with 56k miles looks like new inside and out (x mas present for my daughter)..
